This is as much a kick up the arse for me as it is for you guys!

Having seen a post on spookycinq's facebook wall, it occurs to me that 2016 marks 25 years of Cinquecento.

To me, this means we need to have a massive showing of Cinqs and Seis at Stanford Hall in order to mark this auspicious occasion.

Essentially, what this means is that we've all got 2 years to get our little boxes of joy fixed, fettled, tweaked, tuned and polished.

I don't ask a lot of you guys because - let's be honest here - 90% of you are more knowledgeable about these things than me and you all look after this section better than I could ever have hoped when I was offered this position, so I'd love it if we could all rally that enthusiasm and get behind this plan.

Cheers!

My cinquecento shall be all done and dusted easily by then so will take it down for the big anniversary

Will definately have some form of cinqs there. Since we have got a little while to plan would anyone be up for a trip to Poland in 2016 out to centozlot I'm sure there'll be a massive attendance there marking the anniversary and it'll be an epic road trip something I keep thinking about doing.

Do you want to start a separate thread for Centozlot 2016 and I'll sticky it?

I'm game - If i don't have one at the time i will buy one lol. That goes for Stanford and CentoZlot

If i can get a respray in that time il be all over this for sure ???

if you need more than 2 years to spray a cento perhaps you shouldn't start - get someone else to do it lol

What about if you need 5+ years to spray some wheels?

you are such a slacker!

If I've sold my cinq in 2 years, I'll buy another one just to attend in

I'll make sure I've got a cinq anyway

I vote you have to come over to a show for the 25 yrs ,, if not ill cry

might have to get ferry over there so he can meet 'the persuader!!'

don't make me get my rolling pin out again!

I'm thinking about maybe getting a special banner made up for this. I've not got any designs in mind as yet but if anyone is handy with Photoshop then feel free to knock something up. I'd love it to have the text "Venticinque anni di Cinquecento" though.
I'm also thinking, as I likely can't afford to make this on my own, that the cost could be split between us (your choice to chip in of course) and at the end of the show at Stanford a raffle is held for those who have chipped in to see who gets to keep it. Thoughts?

(as an example, on ebay I'm looking at 3ftx12ft full colour at around £40)

i don't mind chipping a few quid fella
